Obama's "Stand for DREAM Act" Campaign

So the Iowa caucus happened, and we didn't learn much about who's going to win the GOP nomination. But we did learn something about how the Republican candidates intend to try: by pandering to the most extreme voices in their party.

Case in point: Over the weekend, Mitt Romney told voters in Iowa that he would veto the DREAM Act if he got the chance. And today he actually called the DREAM Act a "handout."

Romney's been moving to the right on this issue for years, but this is the first time his position has been so clear.

The DREAM Act is common-sense legislation that President Obama has fought for alongside millions of Americans in both parties, designed to help smart, motivated young people that pursue higher education or join the Armed Forces earn a path to citizenship. Allowing talented young people to fully contribute to our society would only make our country safer and more prosperous.

All of these candidates seem to think that opposing the DREAM Act will make good politics for primary season -- and that's just the start.

Ron Paul has called for repealing the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Mitt Romney says he would kick out every last undocumented worker in the United States. And in a telling slip-up, Rick Santorum once called the Latino electorate the "illegal vote."

When they say they oppose the DREAM Act, they're talking about denying kids who grew up here -- who know no other home, who have learned in our schools and volunteered in our communities -- a chance to give back to the country they love. These kids have worked hard for a shot at the American dream, just like their peers.

And if we give them the opportunity, they will help build a stronger future for our country.

Join President Obama in fighting for the DREAM Act, and immigration reform that works for everyone:

This just made me puke. No lie. This makes Obama look like a first time candidate when in fact he has just served an entire term during which he has had a Democrat majority in both Senate and House. Yep let's all join him again for "common sense" solution. This political rhetoric is getting so old.

And read the message carefully. He's taking jabs at every candidate. This is nothing short of just plain attacks on each other. Dream Act is just a tool used. Even a 12 year old can figure this out at this moment. How the phuk does he plan on passing DA without Democratic majority?

I second that. This may not be the best option, but it's the only option we have, and that's why I posted it here.

Assuming he wants donation, or spams your emails, or just blowing smoke up our asses, it's still better than nothing. At least he's putting a word about it out there than GOP's "I'll veto DREAM act" or "No Amnesty" policy.

You just said he had one. ^^

He can't...if he keeps it the way it is. It's Durbin's job to figure out how to get some relief passed, even (or maybe especially) if it doesn't necessary change how the U.S. allocates immigrant visas.
